288 Miles and an engine failure

[668LT4]

OP, glad you are back on the road. You attitude is commendable and I hope the balance of your ownership experience is exemplary. You deserve it! Happy rolling , my Friend.

Dropping it off at the dealership right now for tint as well as the idle stutter. This isn’t normal. Typically when it stutters it’s accompanied by a tick coming from the front of the motor. If I go 0/2 for Cadillacs I’m gonna cry

Edit: here now, probably and hopefully just the MAF needs to be replaced or recalibrated since it was off the old one so my AFM is reading high

I think its time to ask for a new car.

If the MAF don’t fix it then yeah. Apparently they’re holding a lot of the Crystal made motor 5 BWs now at lansing.

Is this true?

 

[Nadnerb]

Is this true?

That’s what they told me at the dealership. Their GM told me my situation has caused quite a stir at Cadillac.

I hope so.

We're 3 days away from 30 days and I really don't want to have to lemon the first new car I've ever bought.

I would think that crossing that 30-day threshold would give you a lot more leverage in this situation.

Holy shit. I called them Cry-Stall motors as a joke.

Welp drove up to the dealership for tint and the sputtering. Thought it was the MAF. Drove about a block down the street, sputtering increased and CEL popped. I’m gonna look at just lemoning this thing. Breaks my heart because I waited for so long for this car and I’ll probably never get another one.

hopefully its something simple, like they forgot to tighten the intake and it slipped off or something.

I just hope so. They’re trying to send me home in another loaner but I told them I wanted my car to drive home not some fuckin Buick encore again

 

[KatyTxCT5V]

Sorry to hear about all of the trouble. Did you happen to notice who build the new motor? BTW - mine is Crystal built motor with almost 700 miles... so far all ok, but I don't want to jinx myself either!

I mean...

encore [ ahng-kawr, -kohr, ahn- ]
interjection
again; once more

 

[Finally-a-V]

@Nadnerb .........Man, I'm SO sorry to hear this. I can't even imagine your frustration. Fingers crossed for you!

So you're saying my MP status might be "MPLT4"?

 

[Nadnerb]

Multiple cylinder misfire is the code. I got an XT4 as a loaner this time at least

 

[GT325]

If you cross the 30 day deadline and qualify for lemon you may want to just get a buyback.

 

[poor-sha]

They crack a spark plug?

 

[Nadnerb]

I’m thinking something to do with sparking or fueling. It didn’t stutter as I picked it up but continually got a little bit worse over the course of a few hours. They told me it could have been break in miles but then the CEL popped
